Another AMAZING designer gown at an even more amazing price! As indicated by the statement from the webmaster right above this description, we're a recognized and verified PreOwned seller and have been helping brides from all over the world for over 2 years on this site! We’re a team of 3 sisters and 2 daughters who simply LOVE weddings and all things wedding related! Our hobby is searching for deeply discounted gowns (e.g., from stores that are closing down and/or liquidating their inventory) and pooling our resources together to purchase them in lots so we can then pass the savings on to you. Like this fabulous, classic, yet contemporary gown from haute couturier Melissa Sweet, part of the Priscilla of Boston design house that has, after a 65 year-long legacy, sadly closed its doors. It is a 2003-2004 style that was discontinued but still looks hot off the runway! Definitely one of those trendy yet timeless designs that will never look outdated. We love how it combines a sleek, modern silhouette with romantic, feminine details. BRAND NEW WITH TAGS, never worn, and 100% GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC (this is NOT a knockoff or custom-made replica). The dress is a store sample and in PERFECT condition with no stains, discoloration, damage, nor defects whatsoever except for “DISC” has been written across the inner label (which we assume stands for “discontinued”). Made from 100% silk and originally retailed for $3,300 + tax but we’re offering this showstopper for over 85% off!
Color of the gown is NATURAL or “silk white” (a light ivory color; we apologize if it looks white or off-colored in the photos due to the dim lighting conditions. The gown itself is flawless and the color is a pure, uniform off-white with no faded or discolored areas). Features a super-slimming trumpet or semi-mermaid silhouette (also known as “fit-and-flare” or “fit-to-flare”) that makes you look so tall and lean! There’s also an equally flattering sweetheart neckline with delightful gathering along the bust. Chapel length train and back zip closure with fabric covered buttons. Fully lined with light built-in support; in fact, there’s a whole corset-like bustier with full boning that’s seamlessly integrated into the bodice. It comfortably but snugly holds you in and achieves the fit and figure that Priscilla of Boston gowns (which includes the Melissa Sweet, Reverie, Vineyard, and Platinum collections) is famous for. The most amazing features of this gown, however, are definitely the to die for silk satin fabric (why settle for polyester-based material when you can enjoy the luxury of silk?) and the three-dimensional, beaded Alencon lace! This is the same richly textured, re-embroidered lace used by other high end designers such as Monique Lhuillier, Kenneth Pool, St. Pucchi, Enzoani, Rosa Clara, Pronovias, Lazaro and sister labels Alvina Valenta and Jim Hjelm! Tagged size 6 and runs true to size, but please check the measurements listed above this description to insure a proper fit. This dress has not been altered in any way and is hence the standard length of approximately 60” from hollow to hem. It can easily be hemmed for more petite brides. Buyer pays cost of shipping (but no handling fee); all sales final. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like more pictures of this amazing designer gown!
